From: Carolyn G on 23 Jun 2010 09:34 I've only been posting a few months but I've found some really mean spirited people here and now lately some sick perverts. There's one group that constantly attacks one of the travel agents in a very nasty way. If you think he's in error about what he posts there is a polite way to bring this up rather than the nasty way it's been done. I'm even beginning to think OhioGuy is a fake, just trying to pull your chain with his obvious cheap ways. He's been the main subject here for a couple of weeks. l'm tired of this guy and now with these new fruitcakes on here, I'm packing it in for a few months. In the mean time I hope you can get rid of these people and modify the rude behavior of others. Carolyn

My second guess is that you haven't looked through the Google Groups archives to see that John gives as good as he takes. > I'm even beginning to think OhioGuy is a fake, just trying to pull your > chain with his obvious cheap ways.

It appears that one (or more) people has gone off their meds It/they are now posting under Sue, Jean and now George's ids so if you killfile them, you lose their real posts as well. Right now you need to view the post source and look for a line such as "Organization: X-Privat.Org NNTP Server - http://www.x-privat.org" and if you find it then you know it's a bogus post. Unless your newsreader can filter on stuff like that in the header, you are out of luck. Even worse, some of the other trolls seem to have crawled out from under their rocks (or else it's the same person with new multiple personalities). Bottom line is that almost all of the posts here recently have been from one troll or another. Very sad.
